After yet another disappointing quarter during which smartphone revenue continued to shrink and related losses grew, LG is betting big on fledgling 5G technology, hoping the next standard in cellular speeds will help the V50 ThinQ “create positive momentum” for the company’s long-struggling mobile business in Q2.
The only problem is the year’s second quarter has begun more than a month ago and the LG V50 ThinQ 5G is still nowhere to be found on store shelves around the world. But fret not, as Korean media is reporting on a revised commercial release date that’s right around the corner. Instead of kicking off domestic sales on April 19, as originally planned, the Snapdragon 855-powered V50 will apparently roll out in Korea on May 10.
